- One lens case
- Pictured: default selections - ultra remover, standard scleral cup and ScleralFil
Description (by Rebecca)
This is a handy little "stash it somewhere or everywhere" kit to help ensure you are never stuck without supplies for your lenses, especially plungers!
Personally, I always keep one or two of these in my car, but as some readers (thank you!) have pointed out, depending on the season and your climate, your car may reach temperatures way outside the recommended storage temps for salines, so the saline may not be suitable for lens filling if it's been sitting in your car too long.
About the options
REMOVERS:
- The DMV Ultra is the standard, straight-shaft remover that most people use.
INSERTERS:
- The DMV Scleral Cup is the standard inserter which is hollow but solid on one end so that you can control suction.
- The Vented Scleral Cup is hollow all through, so light can shine through the far end, and some people find this helpful for keeping the lens centered during insertion.
SALINE:
- ScleralFil is buffered, pH-balanced preservative-free saline, similar to Purilens.
- LacriPure is unbuffered sodium chloride solution, similar to Addipak, Modudose, etc.
